The Scribes wilt be at Bethel Tuesday

by Greg Smith
The frolicking fifties will return
to Bethel College at 8 p.m. next
Tuesday, to the gala music of
"The Scribes."
"The Scribes" first entered the
musical world as "Priest and The
Scribes" named after John Priest-ly,
one of the original founders of
the group. "Priest and The
Scribes" came to be from the
lyrical prowess of several locker
room types who practiced their
trade by serenading each other in
the shower. In good fun they
united befcre their Bethel peers
and performed at Nik Dag '73.
Since 1973, "Priest and The
Scribes" performed a minimal
number of concerts each year.
Last spring marked the end of an
era though, as John Priestly
performed his final concert.
This school year found the
group re-united under the appro-priately
revised name, "The
Scribes". But this is not the only
change that has taken place. As a
musical group, "The Scribes"
have become very serious about
their music and the result has
been a stronger musical commit-ment
to the group.
"The Scribes" have been per-forming
nearly every weekend
throughout the year and plan to
remain together over the summer.
Nancy Horvath, the group's
drummer, feels that the group is
going places musically. They
now have their own equipment
and plan on playing about four
nights a week during the sum-mer.
This Tuesday's concert will
reveal the new dimension of
musical commitment professed
by "The Scribes." As an accurate
presentation of fifties' music,
"The Scribes" will perform the
music of The each Boys and
Elvis Presley under the vocal
musicianship of Marty Thompson
and Gordy Fransen, as well as the
nostalgic ballads of lead vocalist
Dee Traudt.
While "The Scribes" put the
bomp in the bomp she bomp she
bomp and the ram in the ram a
lam a ding dong, the Bethel
audience will be engaged in
hoola-hoop and bubble-gum
blowing contest. For those more
passive individuals, axel grease,
bobby socks and "Blue Suede
Shoes" may be donned for the
dress-up contest. All three con-tests
will be judged and it is
rumored that the winners will
receive a bottle of "Love Potion
No. 9."
Because this concert is a
benefit concert for SMP, the
masses are urged to attend. RAs
are advised to apply the thumb-screws
if necessary to instill
enough participative enthusiasm.
Those who desire to invite
youth groups are encouraged to
do so.
The fun - begins at 8 p.m. on
Tuesday. Tickets are still avail-able
after chapel at $1.25 each.
Tickets at the door will be sold at
$1.50, so buy them soon.

As the end of the school year
and graduation approaches, sen-iors
prepare for the job hunting
world outside of Bethel. Social
work majors are no exception.
Many of them have been
getting experience in their field
placement since September,
working a minimum of 16 hours
for their major.
These students undergo a
variety of experiences. Some
work with mentally retarded
children, others work with senior
citizens, and one girl is an intern
probation officer for adolescents.
In their experiences, the students
are learning a lot about people.
Putting in so many hours takes
up a lot of time, but most social
workers feel it's worth it. "My .
schedule is pretty loose, and I
enjoy it," said Linda Vodonik,
who works at the Home of the
Good Shepherd for adolescent
girls.
She spends eight hours a day
in a cottage with the girls from 2
until 10 p.m. on weekdays. "I feel
really close to the people I work
with," she added. "You need a lot
of support to do good."
Carolyn Jass also puts a lot of
time into her social work. During
the week she works at Ramsey
County Welfare Department with
mentally retarded children.
Her tasks entail finding foster
homes for the neglected, helping
to train mothers to better care for
their children, and helping social
workers with simple errands like
taking children to the doctor. On
weekends, Carolyn works as a
release house parent for mentally
retarded women.
Working in an administrative
position, Loren Helm does his
field placement for social work in
the Christian Service office. His
job is to place interested stu-dents
in some -kind of social
ministry.
Besides placing individuals
with social work agencies, Loren
works with departments at Beth-el,
such as the drama depart-rnent.
He is working with this
department to see about one-act
play performances at rest homes.

Carter stuns skeptics
with human rights stand
by Laura Alden
President Carter recently vault-ed
into the international human
rights arena. His support of
Soviet dissidents, his careful
warnings to ldi Amin and his
reduction of foreign aid to
nations with repressive policies
have raised diplomatic eyebrows
and created foreign policy prob-lems.
The resulting dilemma is multi-dimensional.
But all the ques-tions
postulated ultimately come
down to this issue: Are the risks
worth it? Will a strong human
rights stance actually help the
thousands of people persecuted
and oppressed by their govern-ments?
To the surprise of skeptical
journalists and diplomats, the
answer haS been a loud "yes."
Carter's enactment of his human
rights rhetoric has left many
doing a double-take.
According to Newsweek, this
is the first time in U.S. history
that an administration has delib-erately
cut monetary aid to
foreign countries (Argentina, E-thiopia
and Uruguay) because of
human rights considerations.
Even before the budget cuts,
several right-wing governments
began to ease repression. Some
speculate that Carter's crusade
prompted those actions.
In Indonesia, President Suhar-to
said he plans to free thousands
of imprisoned Communists. And
in Paraguay, over 30 political
prisoners were recently released.
Diplomats report that Paraguay's
dictator feels that "Carter is
serious about human rights."
(AP)
However, the Soviet Union is
bucking Carter's campaign. Mos-cow
warns that Carter has
jeopardized detente and the SALT
agreement by "interfering in our
internal affairs." (U.S. News &
World Report) Soviet protests
against Carter's sympathy for
Andrei Sakharov (Nobel Prize-winning
nuclear physicist and
leader of the Russian human
rights movement) are both vocal
and vicious.
Soviet fury increased last week
when exiled dissident Vladimir
Bukovsky accepted an invitation
to meet Carter and Mondale. The
Carter administration's response
to the Soviet reaction was
pointed: "If a SALT agreement
hinges on whether the President
sees Bukovsky at the White
House, then it's not worth
signing."
Carter clearly insists that the
U.S. stand on human rights
should not in any way influence
the Soviet-American relationship.
By his recent actions (budget
cuts, public remarks, etc.) he
seems to be telling the Kremlin
that his human rights policy was
not specifically designed for the
Soviet Union.
Acceptance of this idea is
hardly guaranteed. Experts say
that the Kremlin may respond to
Carter's dictums by cracking
down harder on dissidents. To
this, Bukovsky replies, "The
Soviet Union will do that only as
